She is 3rd female homicide victim this year

Police investigating the death of a woman brought to UF Health Jacksonville early Friday said a suspect has been identified and arrested, but not charged with murder.

Police were told the 38-year-old victim was involved in an altercation with a 44-year-old man who brought her to the hospital. Assistant Chief Chris Butler said the man has been arrested on other charges and that the homicide is being investigated.

She is the third woman killed in Jacksonville this year, not including two others nearly killed in other shootings. Last year it took until April 7 to have that many.

The woman was unresponsive and had suffered apparent trauma when she was brought to the hospital shortly after midnight, police said. The man and the victim were in a fight, possibly in the area of Edgewood Avenue North and New Kings Road.
